Drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the third round of the 1982 NHL Entry Draft, He quickly became known for his physical style of play and leadership on and off the ice.

Loney’s career spanned over a decade, where he played 624 regular-season NHL games, scoring 87 goals and adding 110 assists. His tenure with Pittsburgh saw him become a fan favorite for his grit and commitment, which helped the Penguins win those championships. After leaving the Penguins, Loney played for several other teams, including the Anaheim Ducks, New York Rangers, and New York Islanders, before retiring after the 1994-1995 season.
Post-retirement, Loney remained involved in hockey, eventually co-owning the USHL’s Youngstown Phantoms. He and his wife, Aafke, were highly involved in the day-to-day operations of the team, contributing both on and off the ice to its growth and success before selling their stake in 2018. He has also pursued a successful business career, notably working as an executive in the pharmacy benefits industry while continuing his close ties to the Pittsburgh community.
Throughout his career, Loney was known for his strong work ethic, resilience, and leadership, traits that have served him well in his post-hockey endeavors .
The Score on Troy Loney – 5.5
Troy has a bit of a messy signature. I shouldn’t talk because it’s probably not too far from mine. On top of that the marker he used wasn’t great and he’s singing over a lot of image on those cards. Images with black uniforms which are never easy.
Thanks Mr. Loney! I’m giving this return a 5.5.
